lowering civic, need help deciding on brands
 

hey everyone, looking to drop my civic in the near future. not really sure what brands/types are good. i do know i want adjustible shocks. iwas looking at some KYB shocks and some neuspeed yellow sport springs. i want to maintain a GOOD and smooth ride. probably going to drop it around 1 3/4. is there going to be anything else i need beside front camber arms?

thanks

I have Ground Control coilovers and KYB AGX shocks and I love them.

how do they ride? are the shocks adjustible?what kind of price tag do they come with?

the KYBs will blow out eventually and if you're using lowering springs you won't be able to get them warrantied. I have Konis in one car and KYBs in the others, the difference is definitely noticeable, the Konis are a million times better.

any other brands beside koni?
what model koni would you recommend?

Ive heard good things about Skunk2s lowering stuffs. Not %100 sure about the adjustable thing though, but thats somewhere to look

You have a red car and you want yellow springs? :eek:

Personally, I'd go black springs (to avoid taking attention away from the wheels), but that's me. Hopefully, I'll have my Eibachs, soon.

LOL! Do people actually pick their springs based on color?!?

Koni Yellows (Sport) are what I would go with for shocks.
Koni Reds are cheaper but they are valved for slightly softer springs (compared to the Yellows). But that's OK for most daily drivers

p.s. you don't need a camber kit, read the stickies! [8D]
